You knew we had to get to this viral song about smoking at some point, right?
Well, what you didn't know is that, as part of my 1000 albums project, I listened to a Princess Chelsea album - 2023's Taite Music Prize-winning Everything Is Going To Be Alright. It was really, really excellent, and I loved the album. I was seeking a Princess Chelsea song to post.
Taite Music Prize - it's for music from New Zealand. Chelsea Nikkel, who is the titular Princess, is from Auckland.
And, unrelated, the kids started getting obsessed with this creepy, weird song from 2011 that is also enchanting. That song, as it turns out, is from Princess Chelsea's 2011 debut album Lil Golden Book. THAT album is now on my list.
The song is literally a couple arguing about smoking.
The Lee Hazelwood part (to Chelsea's Nancy Sinatra) of the song was sung by Chelsea's co-producer and former Brunettes frontman Jonathan Bree (she was also a part-time member). And it's now on repeat.
So, despite this being a 2011 song, and despite Princess Chelsea releasing a lot of music in between 2011 and... now..... she did not tour the United States until 2023 - in support of Everything Is Going To Be Alright.
It's a good thing she had Jonathan Bree with her.
